Rin sat on her bed, trying to get what little sleep she could. It was the end of summer, and she always had trouble getting to sleep the day before. Her sister, Kagome, was the same.

Rin began living with the Higurashi family five years ago. She had become an orphan when her parents died of pneomonia when she was four. For seven years she lived in an orphanage until the Higurashi family decided to take pity on her, so they adopted her.

Kagome's family owned a large eletric company, Higurashi inc. ,So they lived in a rich neighbor hood. Her family had thoughts of mergin with another, Taisho electric, but it came with a big price...

"Kagome! Rin! Come downstairs, We have something to discuss." Their mother Mikko called from the dining room. The girls rushed down stairs as they met thier parents at the table.

"There is something you girls need to know. Our company has recieved an invitation to a dinner with a neighboring company, Taisho eletric. We will be discussing the future relationships between our companies. If this goes well, our companies will merge and we will be making more money than we have before." Their father Itachi announced. Before Rin or Kagome could give thier 2 cent, he continued.

"But the owner has two sons are looking to be wed, and we agreed that you two would marry them within six months." Rin gasped and shared a look of suprise with Kagome. She too had the same expression her.

"I know it is a big discision, but this is for the sake of our company, and the sake of your future." He finished.

"Now girls, go put on your special occasion dresses. We will be leaving in a hour and a half, so be prepared." Thier mother dismissed them as Kagome and Rin walked gloomily to thier rooms. They couldn't believe what thier parents said, or HOW they said it. Since they were only 16, they had no say in what to do, so they obidiantly got dressed. Basically, in thier minds, they were preparing for hell.

I began to take off my checkered white and orange sun dress. I searched through my closet and found my low-cut party dress. This dress always made me feel self-conscience because of how... adult-like it was. It stopped a little above my knees and showed too much cleavage. I slapped on some conselaer and put on some smoky-eye make-up. After that, I rummaged through my drawer looking for my cherry lip gloss. I looked my self up and down and smiled.

"Looking good Rin." I said to myself. I sighed as I plopped on the bed. My friends at school told me that Taisho eletric was runned by demons. I WAS GOING TO MARRY A DEMON!

I looked down the hall to Kagome's room. She was wearing a dress similar to mine, only more flow-y and a little longer. Darn.

A little while after we were dressed, we headed out side to our car. The ride seemed to take forever, although it was only 25 minutes away. As we approached the door, I felt as if I would hurl my guts out. For most girls, it was a dream come true, for ME,, it was a living hell. I took a deep breath as my mother rung the door bell

DINGDONG!

A beatiful woman with a watm smile answered the door.

"Ah, we have been expecting you. My name is Izayoi, please follow me." She said as she led us inside. The house was more like a mini-mansion. It was fancy, with velvet drapes and expensive furniture, and classy, with a little min-bar and ... a football game playing on a flat screen.

Izayoi led us to a big dining room where three others were sitting. My eyes fell opon a handsome man with a cresent moon and red markings on his cheeks. His gaze wandered to me too, and we both gaped at eachother. Eventually I blushed and turned away, knowing his gaze was still on me. I was barely listening to the already started coneversation until it was pointed to me and Kagome.

"Have you twp girls thought about your part of the merge?" Said a male demon with white hair pulled into a ponytail.

"Oh, huh?" I said sheepishly. Thankfully, Kagome gave me saving grace.

"I guess we haven't given it much thought yet." She said.

"Yes, most don't." The man said. I tried to remeber his nime... InuTaisho I beileve. And then some guy in a red Kimono deciided to speak out.

"Feh, when are we done here anyways?" I noticed he was the guy who kept giving ocasional glances Kagome's way. Then it hit me.

"Who are we marrying?" I said, breaking the conversation. My parents looked at like I'd grew horns from my head, and Kagome stared like I just offered to blow up the earth. Izayoi let out a soft chuckle.

"We were about to get to that." Izayoi said as she continued. "Your name is Rin, correct? You shall be marrying Sesshomaru." She gestured to her left, to the mane who was staring at me earlier. for 1.5 seconds, our eyes met. I could'a sworn I saw something deep within his eyes, lust maybe? Then he turned away.

"And Kagome, you'll be married to Inuyasha."she gestured to her right and I saw the guy who had spoken out. I also noticed he had dog ears. Demons are so strange...

Oops, missed the conversation.

"...So have them ready by the day after tomorrow.." What were they talking about?

"Nonsense! We'll have them packed up by tomorrow, we prefer to do things faster, right honey?" My mother said. It only took me half a second to guess what they were talking about. They probably wanted me and Kagome to move in! I almost fainted at the realization.

"Of course! That would be better." Izayoi a sweet smile. Soon after, we prepared to leave. When we got home, we immediatily started packing. I didn't realize I was crying until I saw teardrops fall. That night I cried myself to sleep.
